sponsibilitiesI He was dressed, however, with his
usual care, but probably he wished to give public
notice OF the fact that clothes now had taken
second place in his afYections for he appeared in
the same suit that he wore last evening. He wore
black cut-away coat, brown baggy trousers, q
which did not conceal altogether the red and white
stripes OF his grfdtr0n shirt bosom His high COL
lar and cuns were white.
UNDECIDED As TO HIS WEDDING TRP.
Mr.. Wall said to the reporter that the accounts
published In the papers Of his marriage were cor
rect, and that he had nothing to add to what had
already been said In regard to his future
plans Mr.. Wall was rather hazy. He said
that he did not know whether he would go to New
York or take trip South, but he indicated that he
would do either the one or the other.
Mr.. Wall did not take a very liberal part in the
conversation COZ ana showed 80 much anxiety to get
his responses to the inquiries OF the reporter were
extremely meager. His desire to his bride soon
proved stronger than his anxiety to see the New
York papers and So leaving orders with the coOred

A CALL FROM HIS MOTHER-IN-LAw.
He found there Mrs Melbourne, his mother-in-
law. who had come down to make an early morn
ing call upon her children The reporter had
asked Mr.. Wall how he had happened to neglect
to invite Mrs. Melbourne to the ceremony yeSter-
day. especially when 1t would have been so con-
venient for her to attend, but he probably did not
hear the question, as he made no response. The
mOther-in-Iiws call this morning indicates that
she has overlooked this little piece OF neglecVon
the part OF the young couple.
After spending short time in the society OF his
bride and his new mother. Mr.. Wall returned down
stairs and ordered q cocktail. While he was alb
sOrbing this liquid refreshment he remarked cas-
ually, that he would not be in New York to-day

TO the young couple ana was then escorted to her
carriage by Mr.. WALL and the bride and groom were
again left TO the enjoyment OF their own society.
